Specification
CIPconnect-enabled: Configure, diagnose, and analyze process data and communications status
CIPconnect-enabled: CIPconnect can bridge through multiple ENBT/CNBT links to connect to MVI56E-MCMRs installed in remote chassis for configuration and diagnostics
Ethernet Port withBuilt-in Web Server: Local and remote configuration and diagnostics access available through the Ethernet Port
Reduced Data Block: Ideal solution for remote chassis installations using ControlNet and redundant controllers
4-digit LED display: See critical configuration and status information without having to hook up to the ports
Reduced Data Block: Smaller data blocks are easier to schedule and transfer on ControlNet networks
Reduced Data Block: Reduced Data Block implementation requires less backplane/network bandwidth
Ethernet Port withBuilt-in Web Server: Module Ethernet port provides a built-in web server for access to documentation, module status, firmware update software, and support software
CIPconnect-enabled: ProSoft Configuration Builder software (PCB), with CIPconnect, facilitates remote user access across the ControlLogix backplane through Rockwell Automation's 1756-ENBT module
Backward Compatibility: All MVI56E products are backward-compatible allowing direct replacement of earlier MVI56 modules without the need to change existing controller programs
Backward Compatibility: Enjoy Enhanced features and flexibility without incurring expensive reprogramming costs
Mounting Method: Chassis
Platform: CompactLogix
Protocol: Modbus
The MVI56E-MCMR Enhanced Modbus Master/Slave Communication Module with Reduced Data Block allows Rockwell Automation® ControlLogix® processors to easily interface with devices using the Modbus RTU/ASCII serial communications protocol. Compatible devices include a wide variety of instruments, process measurement devices, popular brands of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and programmable automation controllers (PACs). The MVI56E-MCMR acts as an input/output module on the ControlLogix backplane, making Modbus data appear as I/O data to the processor. Backplane data transfers to and from the processor are asynchronous from communications on the Modbus network. Two independently-configurable serial ports can operate on the same or different Modbus networks. Each port can be configured as a Modbus Master or Slave, sharing the same user-controlled 5000-word database.
